Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Darkness of an Angel ❯ Pillow fight ( Chapter 3 )

Ryou ran down the streets to Marik's house having a feeling his Yami was after him. Like a cat at a mouse's tail ready to devour the poor creature and watch them suffer slowly. Marik's house was insight Ryou picked up the pace and finally reached the porch to the tomb keeper's house. Ryou panted and rang the doorbell. Ryou stood outside the door anxious to get inside. He still had the feeling that his Yami's was after him, his cold eyes stalking him.

/I hope my Yami didn't follow me/ The door suddenly swung open and snapped Ryou out of his thoughts. The boy jumped and darted inside and slammed the door shut panting. Marik stood there confused as ever.

"Uh Ryou you ok? Heh you looked like you seen a ghost er something" He laughed.

"It's..Ba..Ku..Ra..He..he..was following me..I think.." Ryou panted out.

"

Oh so you lead him here…great…not only will he kill you he'll kick the shit out of me"

"I..I thought you two...were friends?" Ryou said still panting heavily.

"Yah we are, but still he likes to beat the shit out of me…I can't imagine what he does to you…" He said in a serious tone. Ryou stared down at the ground remembering every beating Bakura gave him. He remembered one of the worst that seemed to haunt him no matter how hard he tried to forget.

*Flashback*

"WERE IN THE HELL WERE YOU LAST NIGHT!" Bakura screamed at Ryou who was huddling in the corner shaking, beaten and battered.

"I'm sorry..Yami…I was at Yugi's I didn't mean to be home that late I lost track of time!!!" Ryou explained.

"Bullshit…you just wanted to stay there so you wouldn't have to come home to another beating…Heh you know you just made it a lot worse for yourself…" Bakura smiled psychotically.

"No I…I didn't! I just lost track of time!"

"Heh no matter what you say I'm not going to listen…remember Ryou were one person I can read you every thought…Hehe…you forgot to close your mind link" Ryou gasped.

"Tsk tsk Ryou how careless of you, I knew what you were thinking… Mabye if I come home later mean old Bakura will be asleep and he'll forget all about hurting me!" Bakura said in a sweet British tone mocking Ryou. Ryou sat there in the corner.

"No…you didn't" Ryou shook harder he was afraid that Bakura remembered everything he thought.

"Oh and Ryou…that one thought really ticked me off….You were sitting there thinking…" Bakura began to advanced upon Ryou who was sobbing now.

"That you would talk to Yami to get rid of me…and to destroy the millennium ring…" Bakura creped slowly towards the poor boy. Ryou eyes darted around the room trying to find a route to escape but his Yami has him cornered he screamed in fear backing against the corner.

"GET AWAY!!!" Ryou screamed. "IT'S NOT TRUE I WOULD NEVER-"

"SHUT UP!!! Don't you dare lie to me!!!" Bakura barked. He charged Ryou. Bakura swung his foot at Ryou, he yelped as he felt Bakura's foot slam into his ribs. A sickening crack echoed off the walls. Ryou grasped his sides and screamed in agony. The air rushed out and Ryou's heart stopped. He couldn't breathe. Bakura did it this time. His chest was on fire and his lungs begged for air.

"Ba….k..u..ra….can..t…bre…athe…." Ryou choked out. His ribs were broken and lungs were brused. Ryou took in small breathes trying to get oxygen. Bakura laughed insanely.

"Awww my poor Hikari can't breathe…whatever shall I do?" Bakura asked sweetly. Ryou felt like a fish out of water. His whole body burned. His head began to feel numb and the color from his face began to fade.

"Can…nt bree….athe…" Ryou cried out gasping for air. Bakura grinned and gave another swift kick to Ryou's ribs. Ryou agonizing scream torn through the air. He coughed blood, the crimson fluid splattered all over his cream colored sweater and coated the carpet. Bakura's evil laughs echoed the house along with Ryou's ear shattering screams. Bakura kneeled down to his broken Hikari. The poor boy was hunched over sputtering out blood and vomit.

"I'm not even close to being done with you weakling…" Bakura smiled baring his sharp demon like teeth. Ryou looked up and stared into his Yami's lifeless eyes that craved blood. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife. It's blade looked deadly sharp. Ryou could almost feel the pain that was going to come from the deadly weapon.

"Lets have some fun Hikari"

*End flashback*

"RYOU!!!" Marik shook Ryou. Ryou face was red his eyes dripping with tears.

"What wrong? You kinda zoned out for a while and now your in tears what's wrong with you?" Marik asked. The blonde knew something was definitely wrong with Ryou.

"Nothing...it's nothing" Ryou wiped his tears into his sleeve. Marik pulled out a tissue from his jacket pocket, he reached up and gently dried away his tears. He ran the soft cloth over Ryou's creamy skin. Ryou sniffled and let out a sob. Marik's smiled gently.

"Hey what's wrong with Ryou?" Mariku asked coming downstairs.

"Ryou's ok just go away…" Marik ordered at his Yami.

"Well shoot me for caring…" Mariku said sarcastically and heading for the kitchen.

"I hope I'm not being a burden…" Ryou said sniffling still drying his tears away.

"Ofcourse not Ryou, your always welcome here" Marik said comforting .

"No he's not!" Mariku yelled from the kitchen.

"Fuck off will you!" Marik bitched back at him.

"Make me!!!" Marik growled.

"Be back in a sec Ryou" Marik ran to the kitchen. Next thing you heard was a loud slap.

"Hey what did you do that for!" Ryou heard Mariku yell at his Hikari. Ryou stood at the door way listening to the two blondes fight. Marik ran from the kitchen Mariku at his heels.

"Your going to pay for that Marik!!!!" Mariku yelled at the blonde.

"Hehe try and caught me first!!!" Marik yelled back playfully. Mariku tackled Marik to the ground. The wrestled and laughed. Mariku pinned Marik down. Ryou was still watching not knowing if they were really going to hurt each other like Bakura did to him.

"Ha got you now Marik!" Marik gave him a sly smile and kicked him off. He grabbed a pillow and swung at Mariku's head. Mariku fell backwards. Marik doubled over with laughter. Mariku growled as he lied on the ground with feathers in his face.

"You are so dead…" Mariku got Marik in a head lock.

"Say uncle!"

"Ha you wish" Marik laughed.

"Have it your way then…" Mariku reached under Marik's arms and tickled him. Mariku knew Marik was extremely ticklish under his arms.

"AHH! Hahah! Yami HAH! ST AHH OP IT!!!!" Marik laughed uncontrollably.

"Say uncle!!!"

"HAHA! AH UN- HAHA! CLE!!!" Marik chocked out laughing. Mariku released his Hikari and he fell to the floor laughing. Marik and Mariku looked at each other then laughed. Marik got up and punched his Yami in the arm playfully.

"I hate you!"

"Ha I know" Mariku said chuckling. Ryou stood there confused. He couldn't believe that they didn't hate each like him and his Yami. They actually joked and played around like brothers which was completely opposite of Ryou's relationship with his Yami.

"I don't believe it…" Ryou said shocked. Mariku and Marik looked at him.

"What Ryou?" Marik questioned.

"That you and your Yami get along so well and don't hurt each other"

"Me hurt Marik?…well I used to but not anymore…" He said then smacked his Hikari upside the head.

"You basterd !" Marik jumped onto Mariku and beat him with a pillow. The two boys ran around the house pillow fighting while Ryou stood there.

/Why can't me and my Yami have that?"/ Ryou asked himself. He began to feel jealous. /Why does Marik get a Yami like this/ He watched Mariku shove the pillow in Marik's face. /He used to be so evil and want Marik to suffer but now….how…how could he change…/ Ryou backed against the door continuing to watched the two pillow fight. He slid down to the floor. /Why does Bakura have to be so evil….I wish I had this…/ Ryou felt tears coming on. Marik and Mariku didn't notice Ryou crying on the floor.

/Bakura why won't you change?/
